The first complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) for the family Phyllomedusidae (genus Pithecopus) is presented. It is a circular molecule with 17713 pb including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). Pithecopus megacephalus was close to the only other phyllomedusid whose complete mtDNA sequence is available, but had the cytb gene 147 pb smaller.
